Couple weeks just did my install of my GC Kit... decided to share some pics, enjoy

rear first!


Old fashioned jack stands and some red bull, long day ahead


strut out


me sitting down... buddies just watching (lazy asses ha!)




slippin it on...


checking underneath




hardest part was getting to the top mount...

 

some more good stuff...

fronts!




finished product... test up driveway...


slammed nicely. car is not really this low, its just the angle of my drive way... more weight on one side




finished it off with some corona's... success


will update with some photo shoots that were taken after the install (parking garage stuff...) late.

 

haha that was pretty cool. Looks a lot less painful than my attempt at it.

 

cool! reminds me of back then when we would all help out a friend install coilovers, bust some knuckles and have afew beers at the same time. Fun times

 

cant wait to see the new photos

 

looked like good times. LOL

that last picture looks sooo cheesy tho.

i'd prolly do the same anyway.

nice to see the vert's new stance.

 

nice job it looks good

 

thanks homies... ya, havent done this in awhile since my friends moved and graduated from college, they were in town so we decided to have a car day.

yeah but the kit was simple to install... little griding here and there, but over all, it was cake, way more easier than my friend's integra.

 

at first, i thought you were using the ramps as jacks....then realized you just put them under the car. looks good!

 

very clean. What are the specs on those meisters?

 

Looks good man! Got any side profile before & after pics?

Hah! You ain't kidding. I had to do this twice in the last couple weeks. Removing the trim carefully to be able to access the strut tops is a pain enough already. Its alot more of a bitch to do when you have a roll bar welded in with cross bracing and horizontal bracing and a top locked in place with no power and seats that don't lean forward as far as the stock seats!


Not Work Meisters. They are SSR SP1's.

 

good eye sir.

 

sick bro i always liked that vert yours and juiceh have the sickest verts on the forum to date.

 

very clean car.

curious why you choose to go the gc/kyb route over real coilovers? i thought you would have went that route instead. Guess you probably already had teh KYBS

 

Exactaly what I want my setup to be with the Odura Lip, and SP1s. But I got HKS coilovers

Still love your car man and used it as a background plenty of times!

 

very clean vert.. especially the paint.. repaint?
and at least west coast still has nice temps..over here she would be blowing wind/ mid 40's..cold *** hands working with jackets..........no corona's here just some hot coffee too.

 

fresh car really clean.

 

So tight I love that vert.

 

Like the vert, very clean. I was looking into getting some GCs for my S4, though I'm going with Konis since I plan on autocrossing it. Let us know how they ride!

 

Because coilovers are really only good if you want adjustable ride height.

 

What top mount do you have for the rear? And what were the spring rates/ lengths?

Thanks. I wish my verts black paint looked that good.

 

I swear!!!!!!!!!!

I hate people like you!!!!!!!!!!!



















































































With your nice *** cameras!

 

lol i need one anything that shoots as good i am more than happy

i got some old school sony crap box that if i move my hand just a bit the pic gets blurry

SHIKA how much did the set up run you minus the beer

 

thanks for the comments homies..

yeah i decided to go the GC route because i bought the car with KYB's already installed, they worked great for me so i didnt want to ditch them. I ordered straight from the company and it cost about 430 with shipping (no beer included haha). I forgot the specs of the springs rates but i know its near stock, have adjustable struts anyway.

specs on the SP1's are 18x10 +24 rear and 17x8.5 +35 front, had to have a small stretch for the tires in the rear to fit the stock fenders, front came to close to my suspension.

as for the top mounts... they were a bitch... broke off a couple clips but i had extra to replace, i wouldn't even try to install a rear strut bar. that took me way to long.

as for the pics, i used my sister's Cannon XTi with a wide angled lens, really gets the best of my car.

thanks for the compliments again guys. will update with more pics soon.

 

oh yeah GC kit came with new rear top mounts, didnt know they came with it until i opened up the package, I was like "sweet!"
